I've never been a big musical fan. I would go to live shows when I was younger and get bored during the singing parts. Something about this song in particular gets me though, maybe watching my sister do a dance number when we were little hits me in the nostalgia. The ending song - You're the One That I Want, would be an easy #2 for me, but this is the winner. I don't revisit it as much as an adult after liking it all this time but it comes in at 49. It's been parodied to hell, the Bill Clinton one especially lives with me all these years. I can't stand most of the rest of the movie which makes it an easy standout scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drdM5dOkOtM
I have so many list and blog ideas. I need to finish James Bond movies, I’m working on TV intros and sometime eventually I’ll do baseball movies.

I also found myself cutting movies where I couldn’t just pick one scene. I never picked two scenes from one movie, though I do have multiple Star Wars and Avengers on here. Things like Goodfellas, The Thing, Fight Club, Interstellar, Terminator 2, Back to the Future are all terrific but there is not one scene that I keep coming back to. If I do...
